Just when the woman in black was about to press 110, the little boy suddenly cried and said: "Mom, I accidentally fell into the water, and it has nothing to do with my uncle or aunt."
The child was kind, so the woman in black didn't call the police.
But the child's mother still didn't believe it, and kept asking the child: "Chenchen, tell the truth, don't talk nonsense! Aren't you afraid of water since you were a child?"
"I saw a butterfly. I went to chase the butterfly and accidentally fell into the water...Mom, I really fell into the water by myself, and it was this uncle who rescued me from the water."
The woman was speechless now and looked at us a little embarrassed.
At this time, the child's father hurried over.
After learning about the situation, he did not criticize the child's mother, but said to us apologetically: "You two are really sorry! I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you... Thank you for saving the child, thank you!"
"
The child's father is quite good at being a good person, so I said in a lighter tone: "Try to keep the child with you from now on. Can you trust him to be alone when the child is still so young?"
"Yes, I just ignored it. I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. Go back and change the child's clothes. He's caught a cold."
After watching them leave with their children, I looked at the woman in black again.
Only then did I realize that this woman was quite good-looking, very pretty and elegant.
How to describe it, it's like someone who has been influenced by art since childhood. His whole person looks very clean and connotative.
However, her temperament is different from An Lan's. An Lan's temperament is innate and has an aristocratic temperament.
The woman in front of me is obviously an acquired talent, and she has a faint artistic flavor.
The woman first shifted her gaze, as if she was a little restrained, coughed slightly and said: "Um...your clothes are soaked through. You should go back and change clothes quickly."
"It's okay, it's not very cold here," I said, turning to her and asking, "Are you a local here?"
She nodded and replied, "Well, what about you?"
"I'm here to travel... No, I'm here to live."
She didn't seem to understand what I meant by life, but she didn't ask any more questions and fell silent again.
After just two sentences of communication, I discovered that she is a woman who doesn't talk much and is a bit introverted.
It is rare for such a beautiful woman to be so introverted!
I was also willing to chat with her for a few more words, so I took the initiative and said, "If you hadn't shouted a few times just now, the child would really have a big problem."
"I almost jumped just now, but I can't swim and I don't know if the water is deep."
"What you did is correct. If the child is not rescued and you still get involved, the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Thank you for coming in time. Go back and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold." She urged again.
It seems that she doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Anyway, I'm not a person who likes to flirt with women. Besides, I haven't gotten over An Lan's departure yet.
I smiled at her, nodded, and left.
When I returned to the inn and passed by the cafe, Boss Tang saw that I was all wet, and immediately asked me: "Brother Chen, what's going on with you? Why did you get wet just after going out?"
I smiled sarcastically and replied: "Just now in the park over the south gate, a child fell into the water. I jumped in and rescued him."
Boss Tang immediately gave me a thumbs up and said, "It's good to be brave enough to do justice!"
"Forget it, I almost got beaten up."
"What's wrong?"
I shook my head and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll go back and change clothes first. You can make me a cup of coffee that will keep me warm. I'll come down and drink it later."
"Okay, you go change clothes first."
After returning to the room and changing into clean clothes, I felt much more comfortable.
I also washed my hair and dried it with a hair dryer before going downstairs to the cafe.
Boss Tang immediately brought me the coffee and said to me: "Try my new product and give it a review."
I picked up the coffee, took a careful sip, and slowly tasted it in my mouth.
It's a pity that I don't like drinking coffee very much. I think coffee tastes the same.
Boss Tang asked expectantly: "How is it?"
"You're asking the wrong person when you ask me. I can't drink it. I feel the same."
"Just tell me how it tastes?"
"Uh..." I thought for a moment and then replied, "It's quite silky and a little bitter, but it leaves a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth after drinking it... Well, it feels pretty good."
"It's not bad, but I think it can be adjusted a little bit more."
"Boss Tang, do you like drinking coffee?" I asked with a smile.
"Absolutely, I mainly like to make coffee and feel a sense of accomplishment."
I smiled again and said, "I see that in the coffee shops outside, there are young people in their twenties making coffee. People your age are really rare."
Boss Tang said disdainfully: "When I was making coffee, those young people were still learning to walk."
That's true, Boss Tang is already forty.
The store was not busy at this time, so I started chatting casually with Boss Tang. I asked him again: "Boss Tang, to be honest, is your coffee shop profitable?"
Boss Tang sat down, handed me a cigarette, and then said: "How should I put it, it depends on the time. You can still make money during the peak season. Thank God if you don't lose money on weekdays."
"Fortunately, you don't have to pay rent, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it."
Boss Tang nodded and said: "Yes, don't you think this is the situation in A Liang's small bar? It can only be said that he can maintain his life... If his child hadn't been sick and spent a lot of money, it wouldn't have been so difficult.
."
“Is the rent high in this ancient town?”
"It depends on the location. For example, the east gate and north gate are a bit higher. Other places are fine."
After Boss Tang answered, he asked me again: "What's wrong? Are you going to rent a store to do some business?"
I smiled and shook my head and said, "I'm just asking casually to understand the situation here. Didn't you say that nearly half of the houses belong to Liu Xiaofei? Then he is quite rich."
"He has no money, he is just a migrant worker, and it is the house of the Qin family. You can learn about the Chengyi Group, which belongs to the Qin family. They cover a wide range of fields... This ancient town is managed by Qin Lang, the eldest son of the Qin family."
"I see, then it seems that the Qin family is quite rich."
"They are rich and are the richest people here. Who wouldn't give them face?"
It's not bad to be the richest man in such a place, and life should be very comfortable.
I smiled, and Boss Tang added: "However, they also have opponents, the Su family. Although the Su family is not as financial as the Qin family, it is also very influential in our local area."
These things have nothing to do with me, they are just a casual chat with Boss Qin.
At this moment, customers came to the coffee shop, and Boss Tang immediately went to greet them.
I heard him shout in surprise: "Miss Su, why did you come to my little shop?"
I turned around subconsciously and was shocked!
Isn't the woman standing at the door the elegant beauty in a black trench coat by the stream just now?
